Replicative resolution of integron cassette insertion
Site-specific recombination catalyzed by tyrosine recombinases follows a common pathway consisting of two consecutive strand exchanges. The first strand exchange generates a Holliday junction (HJ), which is resolved by a second strand exchange. In integrons, attC sites recombine as folded single-stranded substrates. Only one of the two attC site strands, the bottom one, is efficiently bound and...
متن کاملCellular pathways controlling integron cassette site folding.
By mobilizing small DNA units, integrons have a major function in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance among bacteria. The acquisition of gene cassettes occurs by recombination between the attI and attC sites catalysed by the IntI1 integron integrase. These recombination reactions use an unconventional mechanism involving a folded single-stranded attC site. We show that cellular bacterial...
متن کاملRegulation of the integrase and cassette promoters of the class 1 integron by nucleoid-associated proteins.
The integrase IntI1 catalyses recombination of antibiotic-resistance gene cassettes in the integron, a widely found bacterial mobile element active in spreading antibiotic multi-resistance. We have previously shown that resistance cassette recombination rate and specificity depend on the amount of intracellular integrase. Here, we used in vivo and in vitro methods to examine convergent expressi...
متن کاملStructural Features of Single-Stranded Integron Cassette attC Sites and Their Role in Strand Selection
We recently showed that cassette integration and deletion in integron platforms were occurring through unconventional site-specific recombination reactions involving only the bottom strand of attC sites. The lack of sequence conservation among attC sites led us to hypothesize that sequence-independent structural recognition determinants must exist within attC sites. The structural data obtained...
